Do African Americans look like West Africans?

Yes. We are part of the African diaspora.

All West Africans do not look the same. All Black Americans do not look the same.

Many West Africans have non-African admixture.

It's sad that this is even a thing.

When when when WHEN are we as a ppl going to understand once and for all that our ANCESTORS CAME FROM AFRICA and by extension SO ARE ALL OF US? When are we going to stop drinking that fvcking Wyt koolaid🥸🥸🥸

I was reading your tags to dre's published ask. Do you think while writing about these blood sucking monsters, Anne deliberately made one of them a former slave master? I mean the way this man during his mortal times had benefited by preying on the black race and the reflection of it in his fate where he is now in literal terms an entity who survives by preying on people? Or is it like twilight ( movies) where Jasper's past as a confederate soldeir is just dropped as if it's the most casual thing to shrug away.

( something is up with vampire media and all of them being connected to slave trade my god. Either it is a social commentary or people really do not have any self awarenesses?

i dont know about twilight book or movie to make a meaningful comparison to louis’s book counterpart. i wish i knew. and tbh, its hard to prescribe authorial intent on a dead woman who wrote a sprawling epic of 20+ books for 50 years , especially with shifting perspectives , namely pivoting away from louis to lestat as her MC bc of what fantasy/POV was more interesting to her. but i think in the first book there was some intention there, i cant just say how much. lestat wants to hunt the runaway slaves along the freniere plantation, and louis discourages him from doing it not out of compassion for enslaved people (which would be condescending and abysmal writing for a slaveowning character), but for his proximity to the freniere’s as fellow planters. ive talked about it a lot how its really interesting in the first 2 books that the american planter is created both literally + vampirically by the european aristocrat.. and theyre both parasitic beings in relation to the enslaved people, eventually draining them+ burning the plantation down. iwtv early book louis is resentful of lestat in part bc he thought lestat wanted his plantation, but when he learns who lestat is + where he came from, the power and will he has. hes far more genial to him. its a very dark book, and i think the fact that these characters are so vicious + melancholic is intentional on the authors part. i dont know how much race based chattel slavery is meaningfully explored from the perspective of the slaveowner, but book louis thinking of people in his captivity as fixtures, as creepy ‘things’ more proximate to the supernatural bc of their ‘african nature’ (that had yet to be ‘trained’ out of them) is a very probable, chilling, and haunting perspective of a former slaveowner to take even a hundred and some years removed from it. or if we take it as book louis immersing himself in his perspective @ the time. either way. and its pathetic when fans try to flatten book louis into ‘he was a good slaveowner’ cuz at that point theyre just conflating the movie with the book. i kinda joke that book louis is the vampire it girl bc he was such a terrible mortal LOL. im still indeterminate on the exact mode or purpose, or how much it was just about the aesthetic of gothic horror (re: the earth’s a savage garden). especially bc later books fixate on very discrete modes and metaphors of servitude/subjugation ‘being a slave to the blood’ is a recurring motif running antiparallel with the motif of ‘purifying the african/asian/foreign’ (through ‘admixture’ with the ‘european’) (s/o poacher bro gabi + talamasca bro dave ig) and in later works, theres the cycle of slavery through marius & armand.. marius, whos mother was a slave, purchases armand. chattel slavery took inspo from the romans in the idea of maternal based slave caste inheritance.. idk. idk. ive had very long rambly convos w ppl on here in the past (& im still a bit embarrased abt it) on this, but i think the reasons why fans dont rly get into it is cuz most ppl got into these books at a young age + was just into the cool lore or the queer shit and were able to handwave things as just aesthetic/era/quirky anne things etc. idk.

Map of percentage of people with European* ancestry, largely based in Ethnic self identification in censuses and in a broad ethnoreligious approach.

The very concept of "European peoples" is contested. "Europe" itself is not a geographical accurate term, given the fact that the borders between Europe and (specially) Asia are historical, cultural and political more than physical. Read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundaries_between_continents#Europe_and_Asia

In the latest version of this map I'm considering all ethnic groups with an European homeland since at least several centuries as "Europeans". So all North Caucasus peoples, Bosniaks, Albanians are considered Europeans.

Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Cyprus and Israel are shaded in turquoise due to lack of consensus in their "Europeanness".

Some groups in the Ural/Volga border as the Nenets and the Kalmyk peoples are not considered Europeans due to their strong historical ties to Siberia and Mongolia, but this is debatable.

West Afroasian Christians as Egyptian Copts and Arab Christians are not considered European.

Mixed race people: different criteria so explanations are given. Mixed race people are often counted separately in  many censuses and follow the one drop rule (one drop of non European blood means that people is out of the European ancestry group and into the Mixed ancestry or even African/Asian group). Whenever this is the case, I just follow the census country criterion. For example, the USA follow the one-drop rule, so African-Americans with 20% African ancestry and  80% European would count  as 0% European ancestry in this  map). Given the fact "Mestizo" and "Colored" are separate categories in many censuses (in Latin America or South Africa) from "White" or "European", I'm considering those 0% European ancestry despite the fact those people probably have European ancestry, because of lack of genetic data (the answer to questions like "are Mestizos 10% European or 90%?" is really hard to find in many countries, so I'm being conservative). Other issue can be found in how people identify themselves in Latin American and other mixed-race countries: a 80% Amerindian 20% European mixed race population self identified as "White", "Caucasoid" or "European" is counted as 100% European ancestry in this map. So numbers are sometimes inflated, and sometimes reduced to some point. Obviously no massive DNA analysis are performed in censuses so we rely on the information they gather based in self identification and this map has to be read in that way. Anyway, I'm not using the one-drop rule, but the genetic admixture rule, in some  cases when the census is not explicit about this and I have to take a decission  AND I happen to have genetic precise data: for example, mixed Asian-European groups in Russia (like Mari people) are counted as (for example) 30 to 70% European ancestry following genetic studies on Mongoloid admixture (which I managed to find) in every Eurasian ethnic group . Also check the sources for more information, a lot of data is gathered from the European Diaspora article so I'm not deeply following every link, but just assuming that data is acceptable and accurate in a broad sense. Ask the original editors of this article for further information. Anyway, numbers and percentages probably  don't change so much after all these calculus, so the map is correct in general (maybe take a +-10% error in Eurasia and +-20/30% in Latin America, where ancestries are much more mixed). In Chile, lack of self identification ancestry in censuses led me to search genetic data as well.

This is NOT a map of the White race, just an "European ancestry" map. Thats the reason North African, Middle Eastern and Indo-Iranian peoples majority territories are not shaded. Anyway, some countries don't specify the origin of "White people" in their censuses so I'm taking "Caucasian" and "White" self identified people in censuses mostly in countries in the Americas as having "European ancestry", so Lebanese ancestry people in Colombia or Morocco ancestry people in the USA are counted as "European ancestry" peoples in this map because of lack of data. Despite of that, numbers and percentages wouldn't be so different considering those details and I encourage everyone who is reading this to do the math and realize these facts.

To sum it up all, generally conservative criteria are taken: the geographical criterion (Middle Eastern Christians and Indo-Iranians are not considered European because their historical roots are in zones of the Asian continent) or the census one-drop-rule criterion (Mixed race peoples with lack of genetic data are not considered European). With other and broader criteria, the map would be completely different and it could be redrawn.

Kurds, Iranians and Kazakhs are not considered here Europeans as ethnic groups that are related or belong to Asian territories.

My original sources were a mixture between data in the article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_diaspora ) where the map is, and in countries where the information is detailed enough are taking numbers from censuses from the Russian Wikipedia for all the provinces, oblasts, autonomous regions, etc(see below), censuses from the USA 2010 (numbers listed in https://www.census.gov\/prod/cen2010/briefs/c2010br-05.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_American ), Australian 2011 census http://www.abs.gov.au/census , and Canada (numbers listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Canada ), and taking into account the number of non-European migrants in the countries of the EU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Europe .

Kazakhstan: Each province was searched, I went to the russian article where ethnic compositions are given (in Russian). For example, the Akmola region: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_Kazakhstan https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%90%D0%BA%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C Same with the rest (take all the provinces, look for them in the Russian wikipedia, etc): https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%90%D0%BA%D1%82%D1%8E%D0%B1%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%90%D0%BB%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C I continued with the rest.

This numbers are for "blancos+mestizos", as Brazil and Venezuela separate White and Mixed peoples in  separate categories, I do the same here correcting this numbers using a 0,43 coefficient according to "The 2018 census reported that the "non-ethnic population", consisting of whites and mestizos (those of mixed white European and Amerindian ancestry, including almost all of the urban business and political elite), constituted 86 percent of the national population. The 87 percent figure is subdivided into 47 percent mestizo and 40 percent white " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_Colombia#cite_note-3

Quite old but good approximation, mixed race people is excluded as in Brazil, Venezuela and Colombia due to lack of genetic data. Modern Mexican censuses do not provide ancestry data.

Who was the Cherokee princess with high cheek bones who managed to have so many European great great grandchildren all over the Southern United States?

It depends on what kind of American you are talking to, that is making such claims.

For the most part, the “Cherokee princess” in question wasn’t a Cherokee/Native at all. Most of the time, they are either White, African or African European mixed.

Only a tiny percentage might be indigenous, but in that case, it’s not always a Cherokee connection. The tribe of a remote ancestor is often misremembered. Usually, this goes back to smaller east coast tribes that have less name recognition. Also, the blood degree or ancestral connection tends to be exaggerated or overestimated. So, instead of correctly reciting ancestry as “my 6x great-grandmother was a Cheroenhaka that married a White man in the 1600s in Virginia.” The descendants might inherit a story that says a great-grandparent was “half Cherokee.”

A substantial percentage of these “Cherokee princesses” were actually of mixed African-European ancestry. And the cover story of being Native was to get around more rigid race laws in the American southeast. Ironically, even though African-European mixing was way more common and long-standing, it was also consistently outlawed or highly taboo. Meaning, formal relationships/marriages might be illegal in most places. But, on the other hand, most locations allowed for Native-White marriages to take place (or, they were seen as less taboo, anyway). So, if a person of African-White ancestry could pass for Native, they often did so. There were very real socio-economic and political reasons to do this. It could be a matter of survival. Over time, only the cover story of being “Cherokee” or “Native” was remembered, and the actual ancestry (and the context for passing initially) was totally forgotten in subsequent generations.

Ironically, a lot of the stories of Cherokee or Native blood are actually obscuring African ancestry that is denied/forgotten/eschewed. For context, in the American southeast, White-passing individuals (non-Hispanic) have 2–7x more African admixture, than Native. yet, it’s only Native “blood” that has been so eagerly claimed or theorized in this population. African blood was NEVER claimed (or, not historically anyway).

Some doodles I did on a recent four-day vacation to Northern California and Oregon...

This is my portrayal of a woman from the Neolithic village of Nea Nikomedeia in the region of Macedonia, which dates to around 6250 to 6050 BC. As a Neolithic farming culture, the people of Nea Nikomedeia would have grown crops like wheat and barley and raised livestock such as sheeop, goats, pigs, and cattle. Despite their sedentary and agricultural lifestyle, they would not have developed metal tools yet.

Like most Neolithic farmers in southern Europe, these villagers would have traced most of their ancestry to migrants from the Anatolian peninsula (modern Turkey). However, some physical anthropologists such as J. Lawrence Angel have remarked on the people of Nea Nikomedeia’s skeletal remains as showing some physical traits indicative of African ancestry, which might suggest admixture with North African peoples.

I drew both of these female faces on one sheet of sketchbook paper. The woman to the upper right is a prehistoric Native American wearing the fangs of a saber-toothed cat on her necklace, whereas the woman to the lower left is a modern African-American with sunglasses.

I always thought the combination of black trench coats and sunglasses looked cool (you can credit the Matrix films for that, so here’s a sketchbook doodle of a beautiful woman in such getup.

Every so often on the internet, somebody tells me I'm "not Black", either because they saw me and I'm lighter skinned or because of some random, fucked up belief they have about what constitutes a Black person, and I really need y'all to get a grip. Someone can live their entire life as a Black person, with Black parents and grandparents and siblings and cousins and aunties and uncles, then get on the bird app in 2023 and have weirdos tell them they're not Black, or y'all favorite new term "white passing" just because they're lighter than I guess Kelly Rowland and like...

We understand that having lighter skin is a privilege and everything, but it isn't being white. I'm nowhere near whiteness, and people irl remind me every day. I'm not even directly mixed with anything (I'm mixed the same way most African Americans are mixed, and my dark skinned brother and sister have the exact same admixture. DNA is amazing and capable of anything.)

I swear to God, y'all have got to stop telling people they're mixed, white, white passing, or whatever else just because someone isn't dark skinned online. We have lived entire lives before you saw us, and we have an entire family that you have never seen. You cannot tell us who we are.

TW - BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 3

Thursday, February 1, 2024

“We now know, thanks to developments in DNA analysis, that one in three African American males carries a Y-DNA signature inherited from a direct white male ancestor. Say, a great great great grandfather. And that the average African American autosomal admixture is about 25% European. These startling results could only reflect the frequency of the rape of black women by white men during slavery. The science is irrefutable and telling, and the creation of the stereotype of the black male as rapist can be seen as repression of the guilt and crime of rape projected onto black males.” – Henry Louis Gates Jr., Stony the Road: Reconstruction, White Supremacy, and the Rise of Jim Crow

Montserrat, island and overseas territory of the United Kingdom. The pear-shaped island, part of the Lesser Antilles chain, is known as the “Emerald Isle of the Caribbean,” in part because of its formerly large population of people who originated from Ireland. Montserrat is located about 27 miles (43 km) southwest of Antigua and about 30 miles (50 km) northwest of Guadeloupe.

Plymouth, on the southwestern coast, was the capital and only port of entry until 1997, when volcanic eruptions destroyed much of the town and the island’s most-spectacular vegetation. Government activities were subsequently relocated to Brades Estate (usually called Brades) and neighbouring areas, in the northwestern part of the island. The de facto capital is thus in and around Brades. Sighted and named by Christopher Columbus in 1493, Montserrat is a rich admixture of African, North American, and European influences. Its physical and human landscapes have been battered but not obliterated by the series of natural disasters that beset the island. Area 40 square miles (103 square km). Pop. (2001) 4,491; (2011) 4,922.

“No monarchies have fallen, no monarchies have even come close to falling, and that’s not by mistake”. Shadi Hamid.

The fourth part of my Morocco series; please see here, here, here, here, and here for the rest. (This is a post about modern Morocco; Moroccan history stretches back thousands of years and I hope you’ll read my other posts for more).

Bahia Palace was built in 1859 by Si Musa, a descendant of African slaves who rose to become vizier to, and power behind the throne of, Mohammed IV of the Alaouite dynasty, which has ruled Morocco since 1666. The architect was Muhammad ibn Makki al-Misfiwi.

In the 19th century, Morocco was beset by foreign powers, especially Spain and France, which had haunted Africa since Napoleon’s campaign in Egypt in 1798. France was piling on the pressure after conquering Morocco’s neighbour, Algeria, in 1830.

There was no sign of fear at this gorgeous place though: the attention to detail is extraordinary and while it’s annoying that tourists are in most of the pictures, this place has always been open; (9) and (10) are where petitions were received.

If you look carefully there is a difference; while (9) is beautifully inscribed with Koranic verses and is for the Muslim majority, (10), equally lush, does not have this; here is where Jews, who have lived in Morocco for hundreds of years, would be received. (The wealthy philanthropist Moses Montefiore came to Morocco in 1863, as he came to other countries in the Middle East and North Africa, where he found a large Jewish community and worked to better their lot; Morocco’s Jews were and are under the protection of the rulers of Morocco, whom they have always served, and Morocco still has a Jewish community today, though far fewer than before the state of Israel was founded in 1948; most Jews moved to the new state or to Europe, though thousands still live here).

Soon after this Mohammed IV died in 1873 and was succeeded by his son Hassan I, who successfully fended off European pressure until he died in 1894.

Between 1894 and 1900 this was home to Ba Ahmed, Si Musa’s son, who was the real ruler of Morocco as he governed in the name of Abdelaziz, son and heir of Hassan I.

(Around 2-3% of Moroccans are migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, and there is also an admixture of African blood from the descendants of former slaves, who were often raped or sold into forced marriage by their owners, and from higher-status African soldiers and politicians such as Ba Ahmed ibn Musa, whose descendants still have a high profile in Morocco’s elite).

Abdelaziz took power in his own right when he came of age, but was forced to abdicate by his brother Abd Al Hafid in 1908. Abd al Hafid lasted only four years before pressure from France and Spain forced him to agree to Morocco being divided between the two European powers in the Treaty of Fez 1912, which was so unpopular that he had to abdicate and flee to France, where he died in 1937.

This part of Morocco became a French protectorate in which the sultanate and old elite had less power than French Resident Louis-Hubert Gonzales-Lyautey, and Abd Al Hafid was succeeded by his brother Yusuf; Yusuf was sultan until 1927 though he did not get to wield real power.

Mohammed V, Yusef’s son, who had been exiled by the French in 1953, came back in triumph in 1956 and became King of an independent state; after Morocco helped win World War 2 by hosting the Casablanca Conference of 1943, and given American sympathy, this was inevitable, and Morocco became what it is now.

Morocco was not free from trouble as, almost as soon as it had become independent, it fought the Sand War against Algeria in 1963; 99 were confirmed dead and hundreds more probably fell in a senseless conflict in which both sides tried to overturn the French colonial borders, and neither succeeded then or since.

As I said, while France withdrew from Morocco in 1956, the other empire, Spain, stayed until 1975 in what is now Western Sahara. When they left there was bitter disagreement over what came next. This is hotly contested as almost all Moroccans, as my tour guide couldn’t help pointed out, believe that Morocco is the rightful ruler of this land, to the south of internationally recognised Morocco.

However, the Polisario movement on that territory claims to be Western Sahara’s rightful rulers and Mohammed V’s son, Hassan II (who had shared Mohammed V’s exile and ruled from his father’s death in 1961) fought a bitter war from 1975 until a ceasefire was reached, without full agreement, in 1991.

(Spain, meanwhile, still occupies the African cities of Ceuta and Melilla, which rather shows up their grandstanding about Gibraltar).

Morocco’s neighbours in the African Union disapproved of Hassan’s actions, and Morocco was suspended for 32 years. On rejoining in 2017, Hassan’s son Mohammed VI (who succeeded his father in 1999, from the same Alaouite dynasty that built this palace) said “Africa is my home and I am coming back home”. Despite the above-named problems, Morocco is one of the most stable and peaceful countries in the Middle East and North Africa; the Arab Spring, which broke out in nearby Tunisia in 2011, has had little impact here, the reforming constitution of 2011 and the forward policies of Mohammed VI fulfilling the aspirations of for most Moroccans, who are leaving behind the old poverty. (The leading quote is from 2013 and as I write in 2024, things are much as they were then).

This has been a tourist attraction (as you can see, rather too many!) since Hassan II’s time; Lyautey and Mohammed V had lived here, but now it is a museum to Morocco’s rulers, who have shaken off their past, and to that tradition of ceramics which can also be seen in the bustling souk, subject of a later post.

This is gonna sound stupid as hell but I grew up in a majority white/brown country, and it was extremely rare to see a black person out on the streets. So most people had straight hair, followed by a minority with wavy and curly hair. Basically, all of my childhood I only was exposed to black people through (dubbed) american shows, and most black women in them either had straight hair or wavy hair at most, which I didnt realize at the time were wigs or relaxed, so I thought that was black people's natural textures. I did notice though that sometimes women did have "very curly hair" aka an afro, but I literally though they styled their hair like that 🥴

lol I've said it, and I'll say it again: the media representation of Black women is WACK and 99% of people have no idea of what an actual Black woman looks like.

No perm, no wig, NOT BALD, no drag queen makeup, not biracial.

And the saddest thing is that this whitewashing affects Black people because whenever you point out that biracials aren't Black they'll be soooo offended. Or when you point out typical black features and how messed up it is for Black women to be so embraced with straight and blonde hair, they'll pull out BLONDE HAIRED MELANESIANS (who aren't even Negroe, exactly like Indians -who sometimes are darker than some African ethnicities- aren't negroes) to be "see ? BLacK pEoPle cAn hAvE bLonDe/sTrAiGhT hAiR 🤪" they're soooooo delusional.

I'm from West Africa. Unlike ADOS we (Bantu) don't have foreign racial admixture like that and are pretty racially homogeneous and I hate when I see Black American use their racially mixed phenotype to define Blackness... So no, you won't find people with hazel eyes or straight hair. There's no wonder most ethnicities in Africa who have loser hair and lighter skin are on the east coast where Arab/indian mixing happened (Madagascar, Ethiopia, etc.). Khoisan native to Africa is the only ethnicity beside Bantu who's phenotype isn't from mixing, and EVEN THEM don't have light hair or straight/blonde hair 💀 (they just have lighter skin and slanted eyes)

I mean it's lowkey insulting to see people elevate Zendaya as a Black woman and I'm 100% people wouldn't fawn over her like they did if she was full Black. I said what I said.

Lupita Nyongo is the only Black celebrity I can relate to : she's cute, unproblematic, in shape, feminine, embraces her natural hair... she's an anomaly on Hollywood and that's why so many Black women who never managed to identify themselves with the average Black celebrity, love her🤎

🔥 the vc books

the racist tropes in them is my #1 biggest issue & the most poorly wrote aspects of them all.. unresolved plot threads, freudian creepy incestuous undertones is part & parcel for the genre. and anne rice’s absurdity is almost enjoyable / self aware at times. & i think the incestuous / gendered dynamics r actually handled w a bit more nuance than any of wdf this series posits on race. i am slogging thru a reread bc hearing about how lestat “didnt trust human slaves” & lewis pontificating on the nature of black ppl in captivity he declares his property v. free black ppl makes me want to gouge my eyes out. by the time i get to poor benji i will self immolate and this blog will no longer exist. + the pseudohistorical interest in the roman empire& egyptology 101 knowledge off 99 cent bookstores is cutenall but placed in the wider context of this fangirling over the antebellum period it becomes troubling…seriously need a close study on rice’s obsession w ‘bloods’ of races or w/e ‘mixing’ and the ‘african’ being ‘cleansed’ by euro/other ‘admixture’ it gets weird + tiring to read. the fandom’s greater refusal to even acknowledge, much less subvert these racialist aspects [in fact, even reinforcing them in the fanon perception of armand’s backstory] before during & even after the amc series by n large is why i could never bring myself to engage w them until the show came out, not sorry. n its not cuz i think u can be a ‘good’ owner i want a vc rewrite where the european investor in slavery creates the american slave owner + theyre parasites to black flesh. cuz being this regressive about race even in the 70s knowing all the advances around the world at the time w race is just inexcusable. im forever grateful for the modern show adaptation for being unafraid to tackle this tho.

 saw a thread saying that a dublin study debunked the yayoi jomen ancestry of japan, the jomon admixture is particularly interesting because they are such a distinct people, but resemble europeans in many ways, the study found that modern japanese had 71 percent han chinese admixture, 13 percent jomon, and 16 percent yayoi. im only posting this because everyone in that thread was either retarded or bots. that confirms the myth, 13 percent admixture is fucking significant, thats the average amount of european admixture an african american has compared to a black african, and if you have ever seen uncurated pictures or videos of actual black africans its a significant difference,. a better way to think of this, is that southern italians look the way they do because for a time italy was captured by the moors and they set up operations in sicily, but the average african admixture of a southern italian is only 3-6 percent on average, thats at less than half of the jomon admixture of the japanese and its completely discounting the yayoi, and that 3-6 percent difference accounts for the entirety of the morphological difference between the sopranos and basically malcom in the middle. to be honest thats significantly more admixture than i ever would have imagined, i think everyone assumed they were majority chinese that the morphological similarities between chinese and japanese were not a matter of coincidence lmao the study isnt saying what they are making it out to say if anything it bolsters the view that the japanese are a racially distinct people, and i still maintain that they are going to shock the world, mark my words, there is fighting spirit in them still, in the countries with the most jewed outer shell contain the most anger within.

 i also saw a video of a muslim “refugee” rioting in france interviewed and asked if france is so racist why are hundreds of thousands of you migrating halfway around the world to go be with the racists and his response was france colonized us for over a hundred years, now we are going to colonize them forever. wow based! but the thing is they are being let in by the jews, they arent conquering france, as hard as this may be to believe the french are white, and like i said before white people have a pronounced sense of justice which the jews are taking advantage of. and like i said the other day as well, brown guys want to win, and while that dudes statement might sound based on the surface it wont be so based when infrastructure falls the fuck apart. white people create infrastructure, east asians sometimes can innovate but they definately can maintain infrastructure if they are left with it, brown people can only poorly maintain infrastructure, hospitals and schools will be around but not everywehre, same for electricity and running water, black people can neither creat nor maintain infrastructure without outside help. there are over two hundred countries on earth, white pople are only 11 percent of the global population, that means there are a lot of examples you could choose from to prove even one part of what ive said about the world wrong, but you’ll find no such examples because not only is what im saying the absolute truth now, but it has always been this way. its not to say i dont love these people and care about them, but if we allow browns to win as they are seeking to do, and gain control over our countries, light will vanish from the face of the earth. i dont hold the personal animosity against muslims that i do against jews as a collective, but that doesnt mean i will be unwilling to go through them to stop the well poisoners from poisoning the well, god told abraham “ And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” “ and abraham was white.

Reptilians: Snake Blood

The Brazilian population has one of the most heterogeneous genetic constitutions in the world with a predominant tri-hybrid composition and an extensive admixture (Sans, 2000). This admixture is the result of more than 500 years of interethnic crosses between Native Americans, European colonizers, and African slaves.  

Thats what Hybrid means, why is cardi b saying their her children? The reason you can't watch this porn is because they're the devils children,lilith slept with THE SNAKE, WHY do their eyes dilate like that, squeezing your heart?

To be fair M is not black; she is biracial, so I don't understand why several posters keep referring to her as "black". Also, those of you who are adamant that she and H could never have a caucasian looking child are dead wrong. Again, M is only half black and more than likely as every African American who has taken an Ancestry.com dna can attest to, her mother almost certainly has caucasian admixture as well. Proof you ask ? Well, take a good look at the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his white fiancee. He's biracial like Meghan and has produced a daughter who is very white in appearance with his fiancee. His hair is tightly coiled like M's natural hair, but so far his daughter's hair is very straight in appearance. How do you think some of Thomas Jefferson's children with Sally Hemmings passed into white society ? Thousands of other examples globally.

Excuse me! I am well aware she is biracial! There are many out there that are biracial….the problem with your buddy is she identifies as CAUCASIAN …as for her dolls…..they seem to be Caucasian as well…….and I could care less if a child looks caucasian or black…..or even a doll….I do care if she is lying about having real children….which she doesn't have….she rents a child…..or uses her dollies….
